Second Chance My twitter fiction


Chapter1

Gwen: My cat and a drunk guy



  1. Gwen: OK great I can’t believe Emma let Ruby outside again without my permission have to find her before the shifters do
  2. Gwen: I found Ruby but she’s sitting on top of a drunk guy. Not a good thing as I’m trying to wake him up before Ruby causes any trouble
  3. Gwen: Shit the sapphire around my neck burns from last night as I’m driving to school. I hope the drunk guy doesn’t recognize me when I get there 
  4. Gwen: its lunch, the drunk guy from last night turned out to be Aslan Green, soccer team star so the girl’s set my history notebook on fire
  5. Gwen: I tug on my necklace as I think about the fact that I’m hated by all the shifters. I go to bed thinking about last night
  6. Gwen:  I had the same nightmare last night. The one where I’m watching locked inside the van as a group of varying shifters kill my parents
  7. Gwen: I’m in Bio and Aslan just sat down next to me, I don’t know what to say. I wish Ruby was here, but after yesterday she chose to stay home
  8. Gwen:  I sit as Aslan is talking to me and wonder what brought all this on. It’s not like I’m going to tell anyone I found him piss drunk
  9. Gwen: Back to the other night though I assumed he was dead so I tried burying him, but he moaned as I muttered my incantation so I dropped him and ran with Ruby on my heels
  10. Gwen:  It’s been a week and Aslan is still talking to me. I realize he chooses the days Ruby stays home and talks about the most random things
  11. Gwen: Today’s topic is friends which I can’t really contribute to as he talks about all the soccer team members and the cheer squad. I feel the cheer squad glaring at me
  12. Gwen: OK being a witch sucks especially when the dog shifters two blocks from you pee in your backpack, but the only upside is Aslan shares
  13. Gwen:  I’m not sure whether Aslan is a shifter and dumb one at that or a regular human whose feeling sorry for me. I like being normal
  14. Gwen:  I’m in my room, blond hair pulled back in my lazy clothes when the cheer squad spams me via txt message. Just what I needed on a lonely Friday night
  15. Gwen:  I can’t believe I just spent an hour on the phone with Aslan makes me wonder how he got my # well it’s great to say I have one friend now J
  16. Gwen: Shit, shit what the hell did I do to deserve being chased by lion shifters like this? All I did was cast a protection spell around Ruby
  17. Gwen: I’m cringing behind a garbage dumpster in fear, waiting to die like mum and da when I feel a warm nose touch my neck.


Chapter2

Aslan: The witch and annoying cat familiar



  1. Aslan: OK I’m dead later, but no time for that I must get Gwen out of Boston or else she’s dead along with the stupid cat
  2. Aslan: Found her, but I`m screwed with the lions surrounding her like the real ones in Africa do as I climb down the fire escape towards her
  3. Aslan: OK I’ve got her attention, but idk how to get her to come with me without revealing I’m a shifter. God it sucks to be a SN
  4. Aslan: “Come with me this way” I say to her, but of course she flinches cuz my voice comes out in a growl.
  5. Aslan: OK not my best plan grabbing her and the cat, dragging them up to the roof, but it’ll have to do as she cries in my ears
  6. Aslan: Once we’re a fair distance away she looks around and realizes I’ve dragged her home and where I’ve parked the car
  7. Gwen:  “What do u want” I cry as the panther noses my leg, pushing me towards the house. I go inside as it follows me inside
  8. Gwen:  As I pack I realize the panther is a shifter otherwise it wouldn’t be sitting on my bed watching me. Why did it save me though?
  9. Gwen: “Why did you save me?” I ask quietly knowing the other shifters wanted me dead as he shifts.
  10. Gwen: I don’t scream or faint as I realize my theory about Aslan is true and maybe that he doesn’t realize what I am and I hope to leave it that way
  11. Aslan: “Get in the car” I sigh as I try and figure out if this girl is either really brave or completely stupid as I look down at the clothes she lent me
  12. Gwen: As I sit in the car I pray to Hecate that Emma is alright and that she got my message to run now that the shifters are against us
  13. Aslan: Stupid girl she’s not even thinking about her own safety as she calls her caregiver so I pace back and forth hissing in my other form
  14. Gwen:  OK we’ve been driving for two weeks now, crossed three states and his attitude isn’t improving at all L
  15. Gwen: Hecate I wish I were normal instead of a witch that way my feelings wouldn’t be that abnormal if I told Aslan how I felt
  16. Aslan: The sooner we get to New Orleans the better cuz I don’t know how much more I endure with her fighting my every choice :<
  17. Gwen: I admit maybe fighting him wasn’t my wisest choice, but I can’t take it anymore with him ignoring me. I need to tell him cuz we’re only two days from New Orleans
  18. Gwen: I’m running the tears’ burning as the wind wipes them away. He freaked out after I said what I shouldn’t have. I love u is the one thing I shouldn’t have said
  19. Aslan: I’m right behind her as she runs away. The wind means nothing as it rushes through my hair. I shouldn’t have yelled
  20. Aslan: God she’s fast when she’s upset. I know I’m at fault, but we can’t do this here or now even if we do love each other. I hear a scream
  21. Gwen: I cover the wound in my side as a lioness shifter moves in for the kill. I can feel my life slipping away slowly as it gets closer. I’m glad I told Aslan that I love him -_-
  22. Gwen: In my head just before the lion goes for my throat I thank Hecate for giving me my life with Ruby whose spirit is vanishing as I die
  23. Aslan: I make it to an open clearing just in time for me to see a lioness claw Gwen’s neck out. I growl in fury as I jump in for the kill
  24. Aslan: I cradle her body and hold her close while the cat watches with no trace of its human character as I beg for her to live
  25. Gwen: As I feel my body being moved I realize its Aslan. “I love you” I try to whisper with my last breath as everything goes dark
  26. Gwen: I wake up minutes later in a smaller body when I’m supposed to be dead to my own surprise and shock it's Ruby's old body
  27. Aslan: I hold her body crying over and over how much I love her too when I feel the cat claw at my leg. I swat at it and it hisses at me
  28. Gwen: “You hit me” I hiss and bring my hand up when I realize it was a cat’s hiss. I jump up on his shoulder and purr in his ear with joy when I realize Hecate answered my last prayers
  29. Aslan: I gently lay her body down and turn to the cat that is being rude to its master’s death, but I go pale when I realize its eye color is different 
  30. Gwen: The idiot finally looks at me and I purr louder as he pulls me down and hugs me tightly. I feel cold all of a sudden a moment later
  31. Gwen: “Uhm Aslan could you lend me your shirt” I cough discreetly when I realize after awhile that I’m naked. He apologizes and hands me his shirt
  32. Aslan: As I carry Gwen back to the car I realize this form of a black cat is what brought us together two months ago
  33. Aslan: “I love you” I whisper in her ear as I place her in the passenger seat knowing life would be a peaceful one for us with this second chance 



The END

Story and Blog update

OK well to be hones I haven't picked up a book in nearly three weeks now and I know for a fact I probably won't till I finish typing all my complete and incomplete works. I also need to work on explaining myself better in reflections and making my explanations longer, but explaining what's going on in my head is kinda difficult sometimes and I admit that honestly so I know I'm good at explaining my opinions and thoughts on certain topics. Other topics not so much so that's my downfall when it comes to things like poetry other than free verse or types of writing like twitter fiction due to my long winded sentences.Anyways my progress so far in Police Officers, Farm Boys, and Thieves is that Persephone and Kail have done several jobs in Paris and have arrived at their final job for the story in Constantinople. I've tweaked the timeline a little bit past Confederation, to be more exact 5 years after British Columbia joined Canada. Along the way Persephone falls in love with Kail and his way of life and wishes to live the rest of her life with him after this job. Where I've left tonight in my typing is that both Mark and Luke are out looking for Sara not realizing that she's changed her look and name not wanting too be found and to top it all of she's throwing up

Writing Reflection #5

OK well I've been typing my twitter fiction from the start so I didn't use the storyboards at all. I think my story is coming along nicely mind you it would be finished if I didn't keep flip flopping from twitter fiction to my other works in progress. The style I chose was a book through several tweets and I'm not even close to being done although I've gone over the minimum of 30. I can probably get the story as a whole wrapped in several more tweets, but my main problem is that I'm long winded so it's difficult to get what I want to say in 140 characters or less and I've mostly covered whats on the to do list so I think I should be OK in that aspect. Anyways my twitter fiction is from two perspectives, Brian and Gwen. A teenage witch and shifter who are on the run from the rest of the shifters who oppose the royal witch line's only surviving member, Gwen and want her dead before she retakes power of her birth right.

My assignments for the semester so far


Assignment #1

I remember my late childhood clear as day
I want to be successful in life
I don’t remember my great grandparents very well

I never had a simple day in my life even if it seems like it from an outsider
I can’t stand boys who only like to piss me off
I see life not as clear as others would
I love my family, boyfriend and friends
I don’t see all the things mentioned in the news happen around me
I try to understand and listen to others opinions
I know I’m not the smartest person around
I don’t try to go past the limits I set for myself
I don’t know everything

·       Live in family dream house
·       Go to university/college of choice
·       Play on any video game system
·       Get a new camera and iPod
·       Finish and publish my book(s)
Have dream career


My Notes for the semester so far


Characteristics of Twitter Fiction

·       A story told via a twitter tweet/feed

·       140 characters or less (including spaces)
·       May contain complete or fragmented sentences
·       Acts as a “stand alone” idea, meaning it makes sense by itself, BUT
·       Might be one in a series of tweets telling a story
·       Uses hash tags #twitterfiction #twister #vss  #140novel

VAKS’ing


Visual- words or phrases that appeal to the sense of sight. These words could be describing    color, shape, light and darkness

Auditory- words or phrases that appeal to the sense of sound. Ex: stomp, scrape, static
Kinesthetic- words or phrases that appeal to the sense of touch. Ex: rough, soft, jagged
Smell- words or phrases that appeal to the sense of smell
(T)aste can also be included here as we rarely encounter taste imagery. Remember that like smell imagery, taste imagery definitely can have a positive or negative effect



Notes#2: The rule of So What


·       Good writing of every genre answers the question “So What?”
·       Good writing has a purpose, point, a reason it was written
·       Good writers look for and find the meaning, significance, the implications in the subject he or she has chosen
·       Sometimes the “So What?” is subtle and implicit(hidden) sometimes its explicitly stated(very obvious)
·       As a reader you should be able to answer the question “So What am I supposed to understand or think about?”


Replace Your Heart The Wanted

OK again I do not own these lyrics which I got of metrolyrics. This song best describes my feelings of late and all my built up frustration with how things with my boyfriend have come to a stand still. Don't get me wrong I love him, but he can be dense and slow at times that it drives me mental.

Replace Your Heart

You know I never want to hurt you
I don't know why I'd ever want to Oh oh oh
There's no comfort in another face So are you gonna let it go to waste Oh oh oh
I keep on tryin'  But how can I buy in When they don't compare to you No oh
I'm running out of patience Tired of imitations Looking for someone to  Replace your heart
Everyone I talk to Is just another not you Makes me wonder  How we're so far apart
I'm tired of imitations Running out of patience Tryin' to replace  Replace your heart
Must be crazy if I let you go You were everything I need to know Come back home
Feel like I'm dying Cause I keep on finding Every junction leads to here And I'm lost
I'm running out of patience Tired of imitations Looking for someone to  Replace your heart
Everyone I talk to Is just another not you Makes me wonder  How we're so far apart
I'm tired of imitations Running out of patience Tryin' to replace  Replace your heart
Everywhere I turn  Is the wrong direction  Everyone I see is the wrong reflection Reminding me that I just  Can't replace your heart
I'm running out of patience Tired of imitations Looking for someone to  Replace your heart
Everyone I talk to Is just another not you Makes me wonder  How we're so far apart
I'm tired of imitations Running out of patience Tryin' to replace  Replace your heart
I've been through the crowds Call your name out loud  But there's still no way to  Replace you
I've looked everywhere Everywhere everywhere  To replace your heart
To replace your heart

Police Officers,Farm Boys and Thieves Update

OK for people who are following my progress on Police Officers, Farm Boys and Thieves I am in the final part of the book in which my main character Sara has been kidnapped by a member of the Thieves Guild of Europe named Kail, by order of Mark's jealous girlfriend Selto Monroe. On the journey to Paris, where the Guild's base is Sara changes her name to Persephone in a life changing decision  to join Kail and live the life of as a member of the guild. In order to not be recognized Persephone cuts and dyes her hair so no one who comes looking for recognizes her. Where I've left off in the book at this point in time is that Kail and Persy have taken a robbery job in Constantinople for a rich client.

I'm Alive Becca

OK I got these lyrics for I'm Alive from azlyrics and I do not in anyway own the song.  This song is the ending theme for an anime I watched called Black Butler and I thought it best described me in a nutshell and all my good and bad traits and skills in life.

I'm Alive

Nothing I say comes out right,
I can’t love without a fight,
No one ever knows my name,
When I pray for sun, it rains.
I’m so sick of wasting time,
But nothings moving in my mind,
Inspiration can’t be found,
I get up and fall but,

I’m Alive, I’m Alive, oh yeah
Between the good and bad is where you'll find me,
Reaching for heaven.
I will fight, and I’ll sleep when I die,
I’ll live my life, I’m Alive!

Every lover breaks my heart,
And I know it from the start,
Still I end up in a mess,
Every time I second guess.
All my friends just run away,
When I’m having a bad day,
I would rather stay in bed, but I know there’s a reason.

I’m Alive, I’m Alive, oh yeah
Between the good and bad is where you’ll find me,
Reaching for heaven.
I will fight, and I’ll sleep when I die,
I’ll live my life, I’m Alive!

When I’m bored to death at home,
When he won’t pick up the phone,
When I’m stuck in second place,
Those regrets I can’t erase.
Only I can change the end,
Of the movie in my head,
There’s no time for misery,
I won’t feel sorry for me.

I’m Alive, I’m Alive, oh yeah
Between the good and bad is where you’ll find me,
Reaching for heaven.
I will fight, and I’ll sleep when I die,
Ill live my life, ohhh!

I’m Alive, I’m Alive, oh yeah
Between the good and bad is where you’ll find me,
Reaching for heaven.
I will fight, and I’ll sleep when I die,
Ill live my life,
Ill live my life,
I’M ALIVE!!!!!!!

Dark Side Kelly Clarkson

OK to be honest at this point I let music to describe a lot of my life, personality and my most inner thoughts on the things I worry about most in my life. Dark side describes the fears and secrets I keep to myself only sharing with my best friend and some I don't even share with my boyfriend like some of the reasons why we broke up last year and some of the things I do in my job. So now we're stuck in a vicious cycle with my boyfriend that I've let carry on to my breaking point

Dark Side

There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away

Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am

Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Like a diamond
From black dust
It's hard to know
It can become
A few give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am

Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Don't run away
Don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay

Will you love me? ohh
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Lose My Mind The Wanted

This song describes how I've been feeling of late and that things just haven't been going the way I wish they would in my life and how I'm stuck in the fast lane

Lose My Mind

They say that time
Heals everything
But they don't know you
And the scars you bring
'Cause you left a jagged hole
And I can't stand it anymore
If heartache was a physical pain, I could face it, I could face it
But you're hurting me from inside of my head, I can't take it, I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'd erase my thoughts
If only I knew how
Fill my head with white noise
If it would drown you out, kill the sound
If heartache was a physical pain, I could face it, I could face it
But you're hurting me from inside of my head, I can't take it, I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind
And I'd rather be crazy, I'd rather go insane
Than having you stalk my every thought, than having you here inside my heart
If heartache was a physical pain, I could face it, I could face it
But you’re hurting me from inside of my head, I can’t take it, I can’t take it
I’m gonna lose my mind
I’m gonna lose my mind

Begin Again Taylor Swift

Well it seems like I've been posting a few songs about the last while, but there are many songs to describe how I'm feeling. I'm stuck in an endless cycle for everyday life. I've also got a few of my friends worried about me due to the fact that I'm burning out from my stress load due to all the crap that we as teenagers worry about with the added bonus of being the oldest child of three.

Begin Again

Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels
But I do
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song
But I do, I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you stand and wave
I walk to you
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do

And you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl who
Had as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy
But I do

And you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again

And we walked down the block, to my car
And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches every single Christmas
And I want to talk about that
And for the first time
What's past is past

And you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again

But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again

Catch My Breath Kelly Clarkson

OK here we are again all the lyrics I've posted and will post come of the website metrolyrics so now I don't have to repeat myself anymore. This new song by Kelly Clarkson is really great at describing how my feelings for my boyfriend when I first fell in love with him and the euphoric rush I felt that has long disappeared now even though I still love him very much.

Catch My Breath

I don't wanna be left behind
Distance was a friend of mine
Catching breath in a web of lies
I've spent most of my life
Riding waves, playing acrobat
Shadowboxing the other half
Learning how to react
I've spent most of my time

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now

Addicted to the love I found
Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud
Making time for the ones that count
I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith kinda comes around
I will spent the rest of my life

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now

You helped me see
The beauty in everything

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath!

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now (it's all so simple now!)

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now

Reading Reflection#8/Writing Reflection#4

Reading Reflection#8

OK sorry if this is a little repetitive, but again I didn't read a book. Just don't have the energy or time at the moment with school, work then family plus my own addition to this typing out my books. I'm still typing Police Officers, Farm Boys and Thieves and I'm at stale part of the story where my main character is stuck with living a never ending roller coaster of decisions to make and crying tears that should have already run dry. I've tweaked the story a LOT from my written rough copy and hope more people comment on what  my book is about.

Writing Reflection#4

Well for my blackout poetry I know it was a new unknown style of poetry to me so I had wary feelings about this assignment. I had a little difficulty at first, but once I started I couldn't stop although most of what I did didn't make any sense so when we went into the hallway to comment on the finished works I noticed no one had any thoughts on my work so I guess I still have a lot to learn about Newspaper Blackout poetry considering I had no actual concurrent theme to my work
